Oakland Raiders LB Kevin Burnett's role for the upcoming season is uncertain. With the team drafting LB Khalil Mack, and potentially using him on the strong side as a starter with LB Sio Moore starting on the weak side, the Raiders could go to a 3-4 base defense or the team would trade Burnett.

Oakland Raiders LB Kevin Burnett could be expendable at weakside linebacker depending on how quickly LB Khalil Mack emerges. Mack projects as a starter, and if so Burnett might be too expensive to keep around.
